This is one of my favorites. It's delicate and tropical. Ambrosia is great hot or cold.

I ordered this and wasn't sure whether I would like it. I had another company's coconut tea and wasn't that crazy about it. But I didn't need to worry. This tea is wonderful. I made iced tea with it and can't stop drinking it.

I absolutely LOVE this tea. It is a sensual delight from the pieces of fruit, to the smell, to the taste. Sex in a tea, in my mouth. For reals!

This tea is absolutely delicious, coconutty, tropical, sweet, and relaxing. This one tastes best once it's cooled down just a bit. I also recommend steeping for less than 3 mins, was bitter at 3 1/2 mins perfect at 2 1/2.

I'm a big fan of the delicate taste of the white tea, and how it isn't overwhelmed by the huge flavour of the fruits and such. Truly the nectar of the gods.

I got this tea because a friend said I had to try it. I had never ordered from these guys before (I surely will again).
My jaw just about hit the floor when I opened my can of tea. Sure, the label was cute and the can was nice and big, so I figured the tea had to be at least plentiful and nice.
But OMG! I can't even describe how amazed I was when I opened the tea canister. Giant pieces of fruit (pineapple and something - guava?) and coconut shreds and this drop dead heavenly scent.
The tea tastes even better than it smells if you can believe that.
And it is by far the most rich full flavored white tea I have ever had, I mean the leaves themselves. You can still taste the tea!
I give this tea ten stars. My canister is almost gone and I got it four days ago! Yikes! I need to see someone about this.

I got this one as a gift. This really is an ambrosial blend. I can drink this all day long, and I can actually taste the white peony beneath the subtle flavors. super yum...

White tea is sun dried and contains a high amount of antioxidants. Low in caffeine. Heart healthy and has known cancer halting properties.

The Oothu tea estate is owned by the Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation, India’s oldest publicly quoted company. Due to the recent demand for high quality products in the past few decades, the company decided to transform at least one of their estates into an entirely organic agricultural method, and thus, in the 1970s, Oothu became the first tea estate in India to adapt biodynamic principles.

Just 40 miles away from the southern tip of India, situated at the southern end of the Western Ghat, the Oothu tea estate sits in isolation from the rest of the country. The estate covers the rolling hills of Tirunelveli in the Nilgiris district and is surrounded by the tropical evergreen forests of the Kalakkad and Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, which hosts a rich diversity of unique wildlife. The rich jungle corridors have been preserved to maintain the rare natural ecosystem, most suitable for the organic tea production.

Oothu was among the first in India to become certified in 1992, and Fair Trade certified in 1995. Currently, Oothu tea estate is the largest organic producer of tea in the world.
